He Gan and the other two looked at the pomegranates with rosy hues on the table.

His eyes held a mixture of confusion and surprise.

"Please sit down."

Facing the detectives, Chen Chu showed no embarrassment or fear; on the contrary, he appeared very natural.

Looking at Zhang Xiaotuan, he said, "Bring a stool over for the older brothers and sisters."

Zhang Xiaotuan nodded obediently and quickly brought over a few small stools.

"We don't have much to offer you at home. We just picked a few pomegranates from the field. We don't have much else on Yulan Mountain, but we have a lot of orchards."

Upon hearing Chen Chu's words, He Gan and the others visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

He Gan said with a relaxed smile on his face.

"Haha, I thought you were serving pomegranates to your guests, but they were picked from the ground. They do look quite similar though!"

He Gan and the other two had just gotten their butts on the small stool.

Upon hearing what Chen Chu said, he immediately stood up again.

"You read that right, it's a Xiaguang pomegranate, fresh, have a taste."

He Gan stared wide-eyed at Chen Chu, then at the pomegranate blossoms on the table.

No, who is so rich and powerful that they would bring this to entertain guests?

Are you sure this is still a small mountain village on Yulan Mountain, or that a spiritual realm has descended into reality?

Detective Xiangxiang pinched a pomegranate seed and popped it into her mouth.

She instantly felt the abundant spiritual energy, and her beautiful eyes immediately showed a look of surprise.

"It really is a pomegranate glowing in the sunset!"

Xiangxiang suddenly felt that her throat was a little dry.

Lu Xiucai glanced at their expressions and then took a bite himself.

He took a bite and fell silent, but his mind was already beginning to stir.

Chen Chuxin said, "Why are these people so strange? It's just a pomegranate tree. There's another acre of pomegranate trees on the back hill."

Even if there's nothing good to offer them.

There's no need to mock them, is there?

"Ahem, well, we're here today to discuss an important matter."

He Gan stopped dwelling on this point.

We were able to bring out the pomegranate blossoms to entertain our guests.

No wonder Old Duan said this kid's family background is not simple.

Is this really that simple?

"Let's start by introducing ourselves."

He Gan gave a brief introduction of himself, Xiangxiang, and Lü Xiucai before getting straight to the point.

"We've come here today to invite you to join our Qingjiang District Security Department."

Chen Chu was somewhat surprised. He had thought of many things, but this was the one thing he hadn't considered.

However, this was not unexpected; it was probably because my performance in the trial instance caught the attention of the security department.

"That's not necessarily true, but it's better if we clarify the benefits and conditions first."

Chen Chu felt that some things should be made clear in advance so that everyone could get along better in the future.

He Gan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He had originally thought Chen Chu would refuse.

After all, their relationship wasn't so harmonious because of what happened with Li Ze last time.

"If you join the security department, you'll be our colleague, and your treatment will naturally be the same as ours."

"However, we still need to go back and discuss the specific standards."

He Gan tried his best to appear sincere: "We hope you can come with us."

Chen Chu: ...

That sounds a bit awkward.

“I can go with you, but…”

"But what?" He Gan asked somewhat urgently.

"However, I hope that in the future, when you encounter those criminals, you will always respect the rules of the Ministry of Security."

"Heroes use their martial arts to break the law; awakened players cannot attack ordinary people."

Chen Chu brought up the matter from last time again.

He Gan looked somewhat embarrassed.

He also knew that they had been somewhat inactive last time.

At the time, apart from Xiangxiang, none of them did anything to stop it.

"Definitely, definitely. Last time it was just a small accident."

He Gan laughed awkwardly.

"Xiao Tuan, you go to Uncle Meng's place tonight. I might be back a little late."

Zhang Xiaotuan looked obedient and readily agreed.

However, she understood what Chen Chu meant and would go and inform Uncle Meng that Chen Chu had been arrested!

Chen Chu's actions also served as a warning to He Gan and his group.

If something were to be detrimental to him, he should also consider that Meng Zhengyang was behind him.

He Gan and his team didn't think too much about it; instead, they quickly took Chen Chu back to the Qingjiang District Security Department.

On the way, He Gan and the others showed Chen Chu plenty of goodwill.

This made Chen Chu feel much more relaxed.

Of the three, Xiangxiang was the one who was more interested in Chen Chu.

Because Li Ze had tried to harm him last time, Xiangxiang had stopped him.

Chen Chu felt a sense of familiarity with this mature and charming young lady.

"Did you really take on an eighth-level vengeful spirit all by yourself?"

Xiangxiang asked with some curiosity.

Chen Chu said, "I guess so, and it's also thanks to the help of my classmates."

"If they hadn't given me some buffs and helped me share the firepower, it would have been very difficult for me to do it on my own."

Even though Xiangxiang is stronger, I still can't help but admire her.

Wow, even so, little brother, you're amazing!

Chen Chuxin thought to herself, "Actually, I'm not young..."

"By the way, do you have a girlfriend now?"

Xiangxiang's face showed a gossipy look as she nudged Chen Chu's shoulder with her own.

"Huh? This..."
